Batarupa hhagava, Moore (129). The ground-colour of the wings of 

 this " Skipper " is a dark brown, and thehindwing has a broad white 

 band across it which extends into the forewing, at the apex of which 

 there is a band of white spots. The white band on the hindwing is 

 bordered with black spots, and there are two or three black spots on 

 the band itself towards the upper portion. Its face, as one might 

 say, is yellow. I found it at Pachmarhi and nowhere else. 



Tagiades ravi, Moore (135). A large dark brown " Skipper " with 

 some white spots on the forewing. The underside of the hindwing 

 is greyish-white. This " Skipper" rests on the underside of leaves 

 with its wings extended flat. It has a remarkable way of disappear- 

 ing, for in its flight it is very conspicuous on account of the contrast 

 between the colouring of the upper and undersides ; but as soon as it 

 settles down it is out of sight, and to secure it requires good eyesight 

 and patient search. 



Aharatha ransonettii, Felder (148). The wings of this " Skipper" 

 have a tessellated appearance from the presence of numerous white 

 and pale brownish-yellow spots. The hindwing is prettily curved 

 and angled. It rests on the underside of leaves. 



Aharatha sijrichthus, Felder (150). Altogether a paler insect than 

 the above with wings having a more regularly tessellated appearance. 

 It rests on the ground or on rocks with wings extended flat. It 

 also delights in sipping the moisture from muddy and damp spots so 

 often found on the roadside. 



Coladenia tissa, Moore (168). A handsome "Skipper" with brown 

 wings marked with white, black and orange spots. It rests with wings 

 extended flat, and is common in Jabalpur after the rains. It delights 

 in rather shady spots. 



Udaspesfolus, Cramer (176). A rather large dark brown '^ Skipper " 

 with conspicuous white spots on both wings. The hindwing on the 

 underside has a rich brown patch as well as a white one. It rests 

 on the ground usually with forewing raised upright and the hind- 

 wing flat. In common with many other " Skippers " it gives a 

 circular sort of motion to its hindwing while resting. 



Notocrypta restrida, Moore (180). This butterfly resembles the 

 last very much in habits. The white spots on the forewing are, 

 however, differently arranged^ the inner ones are replaced by a pure
